The Indian Job

Was going through an article on rediff , abt precious jewels in the world. Interesting to note that most of them were plundered and looted from India at various points of time in history!! That got me thinking..

Assume a hypothetical situation - a group of indians commit a hollywood-style heist and capture the koh-i-noor diamond from the British crown in London. They manage to return to India with the koh-i-noor and promptly hand it over to the Indian governement with lotsa fanfare n publicity.

Now here is where the problem starts. What course of action should the government of India taking in such a situation - should it return the koh-i-noor back to Britain and show that we r still loyal servants of the crown or should it keep the diamond and condone the act of international robbery?!! .. How wud the British Government react?! Is this reason enough to launch a war on India?!.. what abt the International Community .. on whose side would it be?!... just my thots.. wud luv to hear what others hv to say abt it...
